It is still Left The Bg Music On.
MAX POWER KILL JEEEEEEEEWWWWW
Left the Background Music On is for a case of a work with a soundtrack, which suddenly reveals that the music exists in-universe (someone left the radio or the TV on, someone is singing or playing an instrument just outside camera sight, etc.). I'm looking for the inversion: a song is introduced in-universe, and then the narration continues, but keeping the song as a soundtrack in scenes that departed from the specific location where the song was being used.
